The MC of Les Girls - not Carlotta, it was a bloke I forget his name - the famous Sydney drag queen show that dominated the Kings Cross show biz scene from the 1960's onward, was said to have never forgotten a face, that he remembered every person who ever walked thru the showroom door including Japanese visitors from twenty yrs before.
I can do it as well, is how I recognized Coretta King's visage from the computer enhanced Moorman Polaroid taken at the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy in Dallas TX.
Yeah well .. about 11 am one morning in 1967 I was standing on the footpath on William St in Sydney just down from King's X waiting to go onto a job, it was during my time as a professional musician if that is what an Army bandsman is, a neat little fella in jeans and cotton shirt was coming up the road.
He was fairly fit looking and was very light on his feet, the bloke standing next to me said "hello" to him and he replied in kind, his body language indicating he knew the man, after he went by the fellow told me "that was ----- ----- the MC at Les Girls." The bit about him never forgetting a face turned up somewhere else at another time.

Considering my dial is splashed across movie screens in 11 countries, including the US, I would not be surprised!
